1. Hire an offensive coordinator to replace Bevell. Since Meyer will unfortunately be returning, this would be the most important change.

This must happen, but I foresee Schottenheimer taking the role. As the "passing game coordinator," he's not successfully tutored Trevor in reading zone defenses. I can't see any proven NFL coordinators coming into this situation. Would a college coordinator from Urb's network be an upgrade?

2. Make every effort to utilize the 3rd highest salary cap number by signing at least one elite free agent- preferably Godwin or Armstead.

Godwin is an iffy WR #1. He thrives with Mike Evans and Antonio Brown. I'd go all-in on Armstead and Davante Adams/Michael Thomas please. 

3. Prioritize the offensive line unit since they failed miserably at this last off-season. If Armstead doesn't sign here, franchise Robinson again. Replace Taylor with Walker Little if he proves that he can be effective at right
    tackle. Draft an interior lineman in rounds 2 or 3. Hopefully Norwell will agree to a new short-term deal at a reasonable price, but it's more likely he'll take the best offer- likely from another team. Since Taylor is not
    expensive, try moving him to guard to compete for a starting spot.

Little should be the left tackle starter if Armstead can't be signed; otherwise kick him to the right side. Under no circumstances is franchising Robinson at an even higher cap number acceptable. He's a lower level starter. Taylor needs to ride the bench or learn how to play guard. 

4. Draft the BAP in round 1- hopefully it will be Hutchinson or Thibodeaux. A much improved pass rush will help Lawrence even though it's on the other side of the ball.

Those guys would be no-brainers if they fell to the Jags. 

5. Try to re-sign Chark to a short term deal. When healthy, he's at least a solid number 2 receiver. Even if this happens, still go after Godwin in free agency. Draft a receiver in rounds 2 or 3 since there will be great value
    in both rounds at this position.

Yes to this. Davante Adams or Michael Thomas. Viska and Chark can compete for WR #2 with a rookie. Marvin Jones is a reliable complementary piece, but shouldn't top 2 on the depth chart at this stage of his career. 

Even by addressing these 5 areas, this team would need one additional off-season to realistically be a serious threat in the AFC. That being said, it would be disappointing if they didn't win at least 8 games in 2022.
